I finally finished the Swedish ration I've been trying to eat on Friday for dinner. It had the 2 dinner mains, drinks, cereal bar, digestive biscuits and chocolate bar. It was the end of a long week and day and I was exceptionally hungry. I heated the mains in boiling water for about 20 minutes or so and while I waited I ate the cereal bar and biscuits. 

The apple cinnamon bars in these rations are amazing. It had a nice chew and popping apple cinnamon flavor. Really like eating apple pie without the guilt. It's the best apple cinnamon oatmeal I've ever had. The biscuits had an almost shortbread crumble and were a bit on they dry side. Slightly sweet and they would've been perfect with tea. 10/10 for the cereal bar and 7/10 for the biscuits. 

The first main was the chicken coconut with potatoes and the orange Orifo drink. The drink was fine. It had a sort of Tang flavor to it. Not the best orange but it serves its purpose. 7/10 for me. The chicken coconut was like a massaman curry and it even had shredded coconut in it. It was rich & creamy with a well salted and seasoned gravy. It was plentiful with the shredded chicken and potatoes. A super hearty and satisfying main. I'm going to make massaman curry later this week because of it. 9.5/10 because I like my curry with a little kick.

The second main was chicken meatballs with spicy tomato. While this was also an excellent main it wasn't as good as the curry. The pasta held up really well, the meatballs were good but a bit on the dry side and the tomato sauce was like a richer version of chef boyardee. Again, no spicy to it. Well seasoned and salted otherwise but nothing spicy about it. If only they'd put hot sauce or some sort of chili spice in these to kick up the flavor. Almost forgot the strawberry drink. This was excellent. Strawberry is one of those flavors we don't see much as an Gatorade/isotonic drink in the US. Strawberry soda is everywhere but not so much as a sports drink. The drink was  9/10 and tasted like Fanta strawberry without the fizz. The pasta was a 9/10 because again no spicy. 

I finally finished it
